Reviews

[StrictlySequential · Rating 5 out of 5]

First: it appears a Brit did this in English and French yet didn't publish its sequels, two that he had planned BEFORE the completion of this one, in his native tongue!

*THE ART AND INVENTIVENESS OF STORY ARE STELLAR*

DISTANT FUTURE: The fallout of genetic engineering has wiped out the majority of humanity but groups have become immune and others took to space long ago. Surprises abound and three different character groups, one being extremely interesting, band together in a bizarre environment to figure out how to move forward.

I ONLY found two flaws: certain characters were impossibly clueless as to why they were needed for a short period of time and why add acid rain to earth if the whole idea was to avoid using a WWIII scenario?

Originally published in French. A handful of hardy, human survivors scavenge on an Earth ravaged by genetic and ecological catastrophe. Their latest risky venture is a trap however and an unknowable time later leader Rael and his wary comrades awaken in an incredible new environment: clean, antiseptic, sterile and orbiting high above the broken world they were born into.
